After four years it blooms

This orchid was purchased at an orchid show a little over four years ago. It was not blooming and I had forgotten why I bought it or what it looked like. I was just about to give up and throw it out but now it's blooming.

Sun and Moon Set

The cold clear weather we have had here in the Pacific NW has been good for something, nice pictures.
